Monica's comment on the recital thread: " ... I, for one, still have half-hearted hopes of getting a good recording of my more challenging Einaudi piece that I really wanted to submit this time." made me wonder where this time honored thread was.

Found this one on page 19

Thaught I'd bring it back to page one

And the one time I thought this thread was dead.

I fear this thread has many more than one life.

Does anyone else click on the "last post" line for this thread and always get directed to page one?

Cathy if you click on thread title you get straight to end, that's where I click.

One good practice session down, about to do another one and just felt like saying 'Damn' those Bach Inventions are hard to get perfect... the ends of notes, the ends of notes. But it sounds so beautiful when the endings are all clear, so I will persevere

And now for One nice Mendellsohn, among other things.
At least I did more than One scale today. I believe I am getting into scales! It's a miracle!

I get to page one whether I click on the thread title 1 or on the date/time that represents the latest post

Just lucky, I guess -

Cathy

bizzarrre! I just got here again by clicking one time on "1"
Better stop procrastinating. I have more than One student this arvo.

I should have done ONE more practice session today, but I didn't.

This thread was my first friend on PW. I am glad it is not dead.

Just did the Melbourne Cup Theory Race with my last student, and she came 1st.
It's the Melbourne Cup Horse Race today in Australia. Most students cancelled, so I suppose they all must have got drunk instead Or perhaps their parents weren't in a fit state to drive.
only joking

I used to know a guy who worked at a classical music station. One day Patrick Stewart was an in-studio guest. This was right around when he was still playing Capt. Picard on Star Trek.

They made up a special playlist and asked him to introduce the pieces as they played them. According to my friend, the staff at the station, knowing that Picard often referred to his first officer as "Number One," made a point of making sure every title had "No. 1" in it -- just to make him say it over and over.

Eh... okay, maybe you had to be there. But I, for one, found that story amusing. Sort of.

That's one funny story.

I must be the only one who's never noticed this thread......

Oh, well, might as well dive right in.....

If only I had one more week... or even just one more day to cram theory before the mock papers are due...!

Hopefully I won't get to the point of taking pain killers like I had to during exams in high school and university.

JimF - that's a good one. John Denver is born?!?

Cathy

this thread is a tonic for a stressful day. Thank you for all amusing graphs, radio stories... Maybe I should just hang out on ABF, and have a rest from conversing with all the well educated intellectuals on other forums - mentally exhausting and you have to watch what you say

Gyabeaux, are you doing grade one? what theory exam are you preparing for? good luck for it! And now to play one scale, over and over. Off to practice see all you musicians later.

That is one awesome graph!

Thirty-One

This is one heck of a thread! I'm in the process of printing it one page at a time, so I can hang it on one of my goals?

Did I do good for a first timer here?

You have found the best thread of all. Print 46 pages? Surely not! Just print page number 1 because that is where a 2 red dot poster, and a poster called Naught, discuss the emerging concept of the one post, to the embarassment of a super hunky dude.

You did real good for a first timer Mr Nikolas, if I may be so bold to say so.

Happy Birthday, Anthony! (Hm. Do I remember being 31?)

Cathy

The two red dot poster, dfvanden, was a great guy - I miss him around here. He was into his cycling, and slurping his home brew while practising each evening. One cool guy

Happy birthday, AnthonyB. I'm green with envy to be your age again for even one day...... so I got you a green cake......

Hi Euan
2 red dots does sound nice. I like the image of practising with beer on the side. Rebellious yet passionate. I have One very nice teapot, but that is a bit straight-laced.
That is a very pretty cake Jim

Today I continue my mission, to play the c*** out of just One scale. It's beginning to have a good effect on my fingers i think. And today's One special scale is.. *finds log book* G# minor. Noice.

Canonie,

Sounds like a new meaning to One-A-Day.

I am new to this forum but one thing I know is that... legendary threads are awesome...

Canonie,

G# minor scale. I'm playing that one this week too

Hi foxy, you too, yay. Well I did it and I think that g# melodic minor is a truly tricky scale. I have an embarassed feeling that i've Never played it before. Oh dear, what a terrible teacher! Was heartened to notice that over at Pianist Corner one of the proficients said "...has a stunning fugal finale (A flat minor!!!!!)" today in a discussion about czerny. I think his exclamation marks refer to the difficulty and unfamiliarity of this key, I for One hope so. I thought the harmonic minor was quite a nice One though.

DPP I don't know what "One-A-Day" refers to, I am imagining a number of ... things. Please enlighten

A common brand of vitamins here in the US. Quite appropriate when applied to One-Scale-A-Day as well.

So DragonPP, could you give me 1 axample of a women's scale?

Ah! the answer just came to me: Contrary Motion

Canonie - I am learning the major scales 2 octaves, hands together along with their corresponding minor scales (harmonic and melodic), 1 octave hands alone then together. My teacher usually assigns 1 or 2 scales to learn each week. I am finding the minor scale fingering to be quite tricky and am hoping that 1 of these days it will become 2nd nature to me

I am home sick from work again today with what I fear may be H1N1 - lots of pianoworld time for me today.
